AMENDED AND RESTATED FORM OF CHANGE OF
         CONTROL WITH CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
                                
     This AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT is made as of March 1,
1999, between INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY, a New Jersey corporation
(the "Company"), and ________________ (the "Employee").  Unless
otherwise indicated, terms used herein and defined in Schedule A
hereto shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Schedule.

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee have previously
entered into an Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1996, and
hereby wish to amend and restate in its entirety such Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Employee agree as
follows:

          1.   OPERATION OF AGREEMENT.

          This Agreement shall be effective immediately upon its
execution and shall continue thereafter from year to year prior
to a Change of Control Event unless terminated as of any
anniversary of the date hereof by either party upon written
notice to the other party given at least 60 days, but not more
than 90 days, prior to such anniversary date.   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement may not be terminated after the
occurrence of a Change of Control Event.

          2.   AGREEMENT TERM.

          The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date
hereof and, unless terminated pursuant to paragraph 1 prior to a
Change of Control Event, shall end on the fifth anniversary of
the occurrence of a Change of Control Event.

          3.   EMPLOYEE'S POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

          (a)     The Employee will continue to serve the Company
upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event as the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company.  In addition, the Company
shall, upon the occurrence of such event, make its best efforts
to insure the election and retention of the Employee as Chairman
of the Board of the Company and any successor or parent company.

          (b)      During the term of this Agreement the Employee
shall devote his entire business time and attention exclusively
to the business and affairs of the Company and shall use his best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company.  The partici-
pation of the Employee in outside directorships and civic
activities not otherwise inconsistent with Company policy and the
management of the Employee's personal investments in public
companies in which the Employee holdings do not exceed 5% of the
voting power or value of such companies shall not be deemed a
violation of this paragraph 3.

          4.   COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS UPON CHANGE OF
CONTROL EVENT.

          The Company and the Employee agree that, upon the
occurrence of any Change of Control Event, the Employee shall
receive basic annual salary, bonus and fringe and other benefits
as follows:

               (a)  Basic Annual Salary and Bonus.  The
     Employee's basic annual salary shall be at a rate not less
     than the rate of annual salary, which has been paid to the
     Employee immediately prior to the Change of Control Event,
     with such annual increases (but not decreases) equal to the
     greater of (i) salary increases as may be contemplated by
     any salary adjustment programs of the Company in effect
     immediately prior to the Change of Control Event and
     applicable to the Employee and such further increases as
     shall be determined from time to time by the Board or (ii) a
     percentage equal to the percentage increase (if any) in the
     "Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers" published by
     the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
     Statistics for the then most recently ended 12-month period.
     In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to receive an
     annual bonus in an amount not less than the highest annual
     bonus received by, or accrued on behalf of, the Employee
     during the lesser of (i) the five full Fiscal Years
     immediately preceding the Change of Control Event, or (ii)
     the number of full Fiscal Years immediately preceding the
     Change of Control Event during which the Employee has been
     employed by the Company (whether such bonus is paid to, is
     accrued on behalf of, is a Deferral Amount (as such term is
     defined in the Ingersoll-Rand Executive Deferred
     Compensation and Stock Bonus Plan) or is foregone by the
     Employee pursuant to the Ingersoll-Rand Company Estate
     Enhancement Program).
     
               (b)  Fringe Benefits; Business Expenses.  The
     Employee shall be entitled to receive benefits, including
     but not limited to pension (and supplemental pension),
     savings and stock investment plan (and supplemental savings
     and stock investment and retirement account plans),
     leveraged employee stock ownership plan, stock award, stock
     option, deferred compensation, and welfare benefit plans and
     programs including, but not limited to, life, medical,
     prescription drugs, dental, disability, accidental death and
     travel accident coverage plans, post-retirement welfare
     benefits, and an estate enhancement program on terms no less
     favorable than those in effect under each such plan
     immediately prior to the Change of Control Event, and at no
     less than the same benefit levels (and no more than the same
     employee contribution levels) then in effect under each such
     plan and to receive all other fringe benefits and
     perquisites (or their equivalent) from time to time in
     effect for the benefit of any executive, management or
     administrative group for which the employment position then
     held by the Employee entitles the Employee to participate.
     The Company shall provide for the payment of, or reimburse
     the Employee for, all travel and other out-of-pocket
     expenses reasonably incurred by him in the performance of
     his duties hereunder.

               (c)  Management Incentive Unit Award Plan.  The
     Company and the Employee further agree that immediately upon
     the occurrence of any Change of Control Event, all amounts
     theretofore credited to the Employee under the Company's
     Management Incentive Unit Award Plan, as amended (the "MIU
     Plan"), shall become fully vested and all such amounts
     thereafter credited shall become fully vested immediately
     upon such crediting.

          5.   PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION.

          The Employee shall be entitled to the following
payments and benefits upon Termination:

               (a)    Salary and Bonus.  The Company shall pay to
     the Employee, in a cash lump sum on the Termination Date, an
     amount equal to the sum of (i) the basic annual salary and
     any annual bonus in respect of a completed fiscal year,
     which have not yet been paid to, the Employee through the
     Termination Date; (ii) an amount equal to the last annual
     bonus received by, or awarded to, the Employee for the full
     Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Termination Date
     multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the
     number of full months the Employee was employed by the
     Company during the Fiscal Year containing the Employee's
     Termination Date and the denominator of which shall be 12;
     and (iii) an amount equal to the number of unused vacation
     days to which the Employee is entitled as of the Termination
     Date and any other amounts normally paid to an employee by
     the Company upon termination of employment.  For these
     purposes, any partial month during which the Employee is
     employed shall be deemed a full month.

              (b)   Severance.  The Company shall pay to the
     Employee, in a cash lump sum not more than 30 days following
     the Termination Date, an amount equal to three times the sum
     of (i) the highest basic annual salary in effect at any time
     during the period beginning immediately prior to the Change
     of Control Event and ending on the Termination Date; and
     (ii) the highest annual bonus received by, or accrued on
     behalf of, the Employee during the period beginning five
     full Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Change of
     Control Event and ending on the Termination Date (whether
     such bonus is paid to, is accrued on behalf of, is a
     Deferral Amount (as such term is defined in the Ingersoll-
     Rand Executive Deferred Compensation and Stock Bonus Plans)
     or is foregone by the Employee pursuant to the Ingersoll-
     Rand Company Estate Enhancement Program).
     
              (c)   Employee Benefit Plans.  For the three-year
     period following the Termination Date (or, if sooner, until
     the Employee is covered under a comparable plan offered by a
     subsequent employer), the Company shall continue to cover
     the Employee under those employee welfare benefit plans and
     programs (including, but not limited to, life, medical,
     prescription drugs, dental, accidental death and travel
     accident and disability coverage, but not including any
     severance pay plan or program other than that provided
     pursuant to this Agreement or any pension plan) applicable
     to the Employee on the Termination Date at the same benefit
     levels then in effect (or shall provide their equivalent);
     provided, however, that if the Employee becomes employed by
     a new employer that maintains any welfare plan that either
     (i) does not cover the Employee with respect to a pre-
     existing condition which was covered under the applicable
     Company welfare plan, or (ii) does not cover the Employee
     for a designated waiting period, the Employee's coverage
     hereunder under the applicable Company welfare plan (or the
     equivalent) shall continue (but shall be limited in the
     event of noncoverage due to a preexisting condition, to the
     preexisting condition itself) until the earlier of the end
     of the applicable period of noncoverage under the new
     employer's plan or the third anniversary of the Termination
     Date.

              (d)   Deferred Compensation,Savings and Leveraged
     Employee Stock Ownership Plans.  As soon as practicable
     following the determination thereof (but in any event no
     later than 30 days following the Termination Date), the
     Company shall pay the Employee an amount (in one lump sum
     cash payment) equal to the value of the sum of:  (i) the
     number of stock units credited to the Employee's Deferred
     Compensation Accounts under the Ingersoll-Rand Executive
     Deferred Compensation and Stock Bonus Plan at the
     Termination Date multiplied by the Company Stock Value (as
     defined in Section 5(g) below; (ii) the number of Common
     Stock equivalents credited to the Employee's account under
     the Supplemental Savings and Stock Investment Plan at the
     Termination Date multiplied by the Company Stock Value (as
     defined in Section 5(g) below); (iii) the amount credited to
     the Employee's account under the Supplemental Retirement
     Account Plan at the Termination Date; (iv) all contributions
     to, or amounts credited to, the Company's  Savings and Stock
     Investment Plan, IR/Clark Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership
     Plan, Supplemental Savings and Stock Investment Plan and
     Supplemental Retirement Account Plan (and earnings and
     appreciation attributable thereto) that theretofore were
     made by the Company on behalf of the Employee and are
     forfeited as a result of the Employee's Termination; and
     (v) three percent of the aggregate amount payable pursuant
     to subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(b) for each of the Savings and
     Stock Investment Plan and the Supplemental Savings and Stock
     Investment Plan and two percent for the Supplemental
     Retirement Account Plan.
     
          (e)  Pension Benefits.

               (i)       No later than 30 days following the
     Termination Date, the Company shall pay the Employee an
     amount (in one lump sum cash payment) equal to the Present
     Value of the sum of the pension benefits the Employee is
     entitled to receive under (A) the Restated Ingersoll-Rand
     Company Supplemental Pension Plan (the "Section 415 Excess
     Plan"), (B) the Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officers
     Supplemental Program (the "Elected Officer Supplemental
     Program" or the "Program"), and (C) the Executive
     Supplementary Retirement Agreement (the "Ten Year Annuity"),
     all as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control
     Event (collectively the "Pension Benefit").

               (ii)      In calculating the portion of the
     Pension Benefit under section 1.1 of the Section 415 Excess
     Plan the Company shall credit the Employee with five
     additional years of Credited Service (within the meaning of
     the Plan and including wage, vesting and age credit) and
     five additional years of age for purposes of the Section 415
     Excess Plan but not the Qualified Pension Plan.  (If, after
     crediting five years of age, the Employee is less than fifty-
     five years old, it will be assumed that the benefit
     commencement age is fifty-five).

               (iii)     In calculating the portion of the
     Pension Benefit under the Elected Officer Supplemental
     Program, the Company shall: (A) credit the Employee with an
     additional five Years of Service and an additional five
     years of age for purposes of computing the amount of the
     Pension Benefit; and (B) define "Final Average Salary" in
     Section 1.8 of the Program as 1/3 of the severance amount
     determined pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement.
     
               (iv)      In calculating the portion of the
     Pension Benefit under the Ten-Year Annuity the Company shall
     credit the Employee with five additional years of age but to
     an age no greater than 65.

               (v)       The Present Value of the Pension Benefit
     shall be calculated using (A) an interest rate equal to the
     product of (I) the 10-year Treasury Note rate as used in the
     Elected Officer Supplemental Program's definition of
     Actuarial Equivalent and (II) 1 minus the federal income tax
     rate at the highest bracket of income for individuals in
     effect for the year containing the date of payment, (B) the
     mortality rate used to determine lump sum values in the
     Elected Officer Supplemental Program, and (C) actual age
     without the five year addition to age except that the Ten-
     Year Annuity Present Value shall be calculated using no
     mortality assumption and actual age plus the additional five
     years but to an age no greater than 65.
     
               (vi)      Calculation of all pension benefits
     amounts hereunder shall be made, at the expense of the
     Company, by the Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts office of
     Watson Wyatt (or the Company's then actuary immediately
     prior to the Change of Control Event).

               (f)  Retiree Welfare Benefits.  For purposes of
     determining the Employee's eligibility for post-retirement
     benefits under any welfare benefit plan (as defined in
     Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
     of 1974, as amended) maintained by the Company prior to the
     occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the Employee shall
     be credited with an additional five years of service and
     five years of age (or any combination of years of service
     and age not exceeding 10 years, to the extent necessary to
     qualify for benefits).  If, after taking into account such
     additional age and service, the Employee is eligible for the
     Company's post-retirement welfare benefits (or would have
     been eligible under the terms of such plans as in effect
     prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control Event), the
     Employee shall receive, commencing on the third anniversary
     of the Termination Date, post-retirement welfare benefits no
     less favorable than the benefits the Employee would have
     received under the terms and conditions of the applicable
     plans in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the
     Change of Control Event.

               (g)  Employee Stock Awards, Options, SARs and
     MIUs.  No later than 30 days following the Termination Date,
     the Company shall pay the Employee an amount (in one lump
     sum cash payment) equal to the aggregate Company Stock Value
     (defined below) of 100% of the Employee's then outstanding
     and unpaid stock and stock based awards under the Company's
     Incentive Stock Plans, the MIU Plan and any similar plans of
     the Company (or any other company) hereafter adopted (at
     which time such stock and stock based awards shall be
     cancelled and be of no further force or effect).  In
     addition, all options to purchase shares of Common Stock of
     the Company (or the stock of any company in respect of which
     options have been granted to the Employee) ("Company Stock")
     and all stock appreciation rights held by the Employee
     immediately prior to Termination shall become exercisable at
     any time on and after the Termination Date, whether or not
     otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the
     employee benefit plans pursuant to which such options and
     stock appreciation rights were granted.  For purposes of
     this Agreement, Company Stock Value shall be deemed to be
     the highest of: (i) the closing sale price of the Company
     Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Change of
     Control Event; (ii) the closing sale price of the Company
     Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Termination
     Date; and (iii) the highest closing sale price of the
     Company Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 30
     trading days immediately preceding the acquisition of more
     than 50% of the outstanding Company Stock by any person or
     group (including affiliates of such person or group).  If,
     as of any valuation date, the Company Stock is not traded on
     the New York Stock Exchange, the Company Stock Value shall
     be the closing sale price of the Company Stock on the
     principal national securities exchange on which the Common
     Stock is traded or, if the Common Stock is not traded on any
     national securities exchange, the closing bid price of the
     Common Stock in the over-the-counter market.

               (h)  Valuation of MIU Plan Common Stock
     Equivalents.  The Employee's Common Stock Equivalents under
     the MIU Plan shall, for purposes of payments pursuant
     thereto, be valued at the Company Stock Value.

               (i)  Estate Enhancement Program. If the Employee
     participates in the Ingersoll-Rand Estate Enhancement
     Program, the terms of the Program shall apply.

               (j)  Outplacement Expenses.  For the three year
     period following the Termination Date, the Company shall
     reimburse the Employee for all reasonable expenses (up to a
     maximum of $15,000 per 12 month period) incurred by the
     Employee for professional outplacement services by qualified
     consultants selected by the Employee.

          6.   PARACHUTE EXCISE TAX GROSS-UP.

               (a)  If, as a result of any payment or benefit
     provided under this Agreement, either alone or together with
     other payments and benefits which the Employee receives or
     is then entitled to receive from the Company, the Employee
     becomes subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
     "Code"), (together with any income, employment or other
     taxes, interest and penalties thereon an "Excise Tax"), the
     Company shall pay the Employee an amount (the "Gross-Up
     Payment") sufficient to place the Employee in the same after-
     tax financial position that he would have been in if he had
     not incurred any tax liability under Section 4999 of
     the Code.  For purposes of determining whether the Employee
     is subject to an Excise Tax, (i) any payments or benefits
     received by the Employee (whether pursuant to the terms
     hereof or pursuant to any plan, arrangement or other
     agreement with the Company or any entity affiliated with the
     Company) which payments ("Contingent Payments") are deemed
     to be contingent on a change described in Section
     280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code shall be taken into account,
     (ii) the amount of payments or benefits under this Agreement
     treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the
     lesser of (A) the total amount of all such payments and
     benefits hereunder as are Contingent Payments and (B) the
     amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of
     280G(b)(1) of the Code payable to the Employee, and (iii)
     the Employee shall be deemed to pay the taxes at the highest
     marginal applicable rates of such taxation for the calendar
     year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the
     maximum deduction in federal income taxes which could be
     obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

               (b)   The determination of whether the Employee
     is subject to Excise Tax and the amounts of such Excise Tax
     and Gross-Up Payment, as well as other calculations
     hereunder, shall be made at the expense of the Company by
     the independent auditors of the Company immediately prior to
     the Change of Control Event, which shall provide the
     Employee with prompt written notice (the "Company Notice")
     setting forth their determinations and calculations.  Within
     30 days following the receipt by the Employee of the Company
     Notice, the Employee may notify the Company in writing (the
     "Employee Notice") if the Employee disagrees with such
     determinations or calculations, setting forth the reasons
     for any such disagreement.  If the Company and the Employee
     do not resolve such disagreement within 10 business days
     following receipt by the Company of the Employee Notice, the
     Company and the Employee shall agree upon a nationally
     recognized accounting or compensation firm (the "Resolving
     Firm") to make a determination with respect to such
     disagreement.  If the Employee and the Company are unable to
     agree upon the Resolving Firm within 20 business days
     following the Employee Notice, the New York office of
     Towers, Perrin shall be the Resolving Firm.  Within 30
     business days following the Employee Notice, if the
     disagreement is not resolved by such time, each of the
     Employee and the Company shall submit its position to the
     Resolving Firm, which shall make a determination as to all
     such disagreements within 30 days following the last of such
     submissions, which determination shall be binding upon the
     Employee and the Company.  The Company shall pay all
     reasonable expenses incurred by either party in connection
     with the determinations, calculations, disagreements or
     resolutions pursuant to this paragraph, including, but not
     limited to, reasonable legal, consulting or other similar
     fees.

               (c)  The Employee shall notify the Company in
     writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that,
     if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a
     Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon
     as practicable but no later than 10 business days after the
     Employee is informed in writing of such claim and shall
     apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date
     on which such claim is requested to be paid.  The Employee
     shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30
     day period following the date on which the Employee gives
     such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on
     the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such
     claim is due).  If the Company notifies the Employee in
     writing prior to the expiration of such period that it
     desires to contest such claim, the Employee shall:

                    (i)  give the Company any information
          reasonably requested by the Company relating to such
          claim;
          
                    (ii) take such action in connection with
          contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably
          request in writing from time to time, including,
          without limitation, accepting legal representation with
          respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
          selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to
          the Employee;

                    (iii)cooperate with the Company in good
          faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and

                    (iv) permit the Company to participate in any
          proceedings relating to such claim;

     provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay
     directly all costs and expenses (including, but not limited
     to, additional interest and penalties and related consulting
     or other similar  fees) incurred in connection with such
     contest and shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless,
     on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or other tax
     (including interest and penalties with respect thereto)
     imposed as a result of such representation and payment of
     costs and expenses.

               (d)  The Company shall control all proceedings
     taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole
     option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative
     appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
     taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its
     sole option, either direct the Employee to pay the tax
     claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
     permissible manner, and the Employee agrees to prosecute
     such contest to a determination before any administrative
     tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or
     more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine;
     provided, however, that if the Company directs the Employee
     to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall
     advance the amount of such payment to the Employee on an
     interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the
     Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise
     Tax or other tax (including interest or penalties with
     respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or
     with respect to any imputed income with respect to such
     advance; and provided, further, that if the Employee is
     required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the
     Company to contest such claim, the Employee may limit this
     extension solely to such contested amount.  The Company's
     control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
     respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable
     hereunder and the Employee shall be entitled to settle or
     contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
     Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.  In
     addition, no position may be taken nor any final resolution
     be agreed to by the Company without the Employee's consent
     if such position or resolution could reasonably be expected
     to adversely affect the Employee (including any other tax
     position of the Employee unrelated to the matters covered
     hereby).

               (e)    As a result of the uncertainty in the
     application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
     initial determination by the Company or the Resolving Firm
     hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will
     not have been made by the Company should have been made
     ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required
     to be made hereunder.  In the event that the Company
     exhausts its remedies and the Employee thereafter is
     required to pay to the Internal Revenue Service an
     additional amount in respect of any Excise Tax, the Company
     or the Resolving Firm shall determine the amount of the
     Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment
     shall promptly be paid by the Company to or for the benefit
     of the Employee.

               (f)  If, after the receipt by Employee of an
     amount advanced by the Company in connection with the
     contest of Excise Tax claim, the Employee becomes entitled
     to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the
     Employee shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of
     such refund (together with any interest paid or credited
     thereon after taxes applicable thereto).  If, after the
     receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced by the Company
     in connection with an Excise Tax claim, a determination is
     made that Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with
     respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the
     Employee in writing of its intent to contest the denial of
     such refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
     determination, such advance shall be forgiven and shall not
     be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance
     shall be offset, to the extent thereof, by the amount of the
     Gross-Up Payment.

          7.   EFFECT ON OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.

          Except to the extent expressly provided herein, no
provision of this Agreement shall affect or limit any interests
or rights vested in the Employee under any other agreement or
arrangement with the Employee or under any pension, profit-
sharing, medical or other insurance or other benefit plans of the
Company which may be in effect and in which the Employee may be
participating at any time.

          8.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

          The Employee agrees to hold in confidence any and all
confidential information known to him concerning the Company and
its businesses so long as such information is not otherwise
publicly disclosed.

          9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

               (a)  Legal Expenses.  The Company shall pay all
     costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, of the
     Company and, at least quarterly, the Employee, in connection
     with any legal proceedings, whether or not instituted by the
     Company, relating to the interpretation or enforcement of
     this Agreement.  In the event that the provisions of this
     paragraph shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable
     in any respect, such declaration shall not affect the
     remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue
     in full force and effect.

               (b)  Mitigation.  All payments or benefits
     required by the terms of this Agreement shall be made or
     provided without offset, deduction, or mitigation on account
     of income the Employee may receive from other employment or
     otherwise and the Employee shall not have any obligation or
     duty to seek any other employment or otherwise earn any
     amounts to reduce or mitigate any payments required
     hereunder.

               (c)  Death of the Employee.  In the event of the
     Employee's death subsequent to Termination, all payments
     called for hereunder shall be paid to the Employee's
     designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or to his estate if
     he has not designated a beneficiary or beneficiaries.
     
               (d)  Notices.  Any notice or other communication
     provided for in this Agreement or contemplated hereby shall
     be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered by
     certified mail, return receipt requested, and addressed, in
     the case of the Company, to the Company at:

               200 Chestnut Ridge Road
               Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey  07675
               Attention:  Chairman of the Board
                           of Directors

     and, in the case of the Employee, to the Employee at:

               _______________________
               _______________________
     

     Either party may designate a different address by giving
     notice of change of address in the manner provided above.

               (e)  Waiver.  No waiver or modification in whole
     or in part of this Agreement, or any term or condition
     hereof, shall be effective against any party unless in
     writing and duly signed by the party sought to be bound.
     Any waiver of any breach of any provision hereof or any
     right or power by any party on one occasion shall not be
     construed as a waiver of, or a bar to, the exercise of such
     right or power on any other occasion or as a waiver of any
     subsequent breach.

               (f)  Binding Effect; Successors.  This Agreement
     shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
     Company and the Employee and their respective heirs, legal
     representatives, successors and assigns.  If the Company
     shall be merged into or consolidated with another entity,
     the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
     inure to the benefit of the entity surviving such merger or
     resulting from such consolidation.  The Company will require
     any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
     merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
     all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement
     in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to
     expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
     same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
     required to perform it if no such succession had taken
     place.  The provisions of this paragraph shall continue to
     apply to each subsequent employer of the Employee hereunder
     in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation or
     transfer of assets of such subsequent employer.

               (g)  Plan Limitations.  In the event the Company
     is unable to provide any benefit required to be provided
     under this Agreement through a plan sponsored by the Company
     or its Affiliates, the Company shall, at its own cost and
     expense, take appropriate actions to insure that alternative
     arrangements are made so that equivalent benefits can be
     provided to the Employee, including to the extent
     appropriate purchasing for the benefit of the Employee (and
     if applicable the Employee's dependents) individual policies
     of insurance providing benefits, which on an after-tax
     basis, are equivalent to the benefits required to be
     provided hereunder.

               (h)  Controlling Law.  This Agreement shall be
     governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
     State of New Jersey applicable to contracts made and to be
     performed therein.
     
          10.  EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS.

               This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the parties hereto and supersedes in all respects any
prior employment or severance agreement or understanding between
the Company (or any affiliate thereof) and the Employee.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Employee have
executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.

                                   By




                                   _______________________
                                   Employee

                                                       Schedule A

                      CERTAIN DEFINITIONS


          As used in this Agreement, and unless the context
requires a different meaning, the following terms have the
meanings indicated:

          "Affiliate", used to indicate a relationship with a
specified person, means a person that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled
by, or is under common control with, such a specified person.

          "Associate", used to indicate a relationship with a
specified person, means (i) any corporation, partnership, or
other organization of which such specified person is an officer
or partner; (ii) any trust or other estate in which such
specified person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to
which such specified person serves as trustee or in a similar
fiduciary capacity; (iii) any relative or spouse of such
specified person, or any relative of such spouse who has the same
home as such specified person, or who is a director or officer of
the Company or any of its parents or subsidiaries; and (iv) any
person who is a director, officer, or partner of such specified
person or of any corporation (other than the Company or any
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), partnership or other
entity which is an Affiliate of such specified person.

          "Beneficial Owner" means the same as such term is
defined by Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (or any successor provision at the time in effect);
provided, however, that any individual, corporation, partnership,
group, association, or other person or entity which has the right
to acquire any of the Company's outstanding securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors at any time in the
future, whether such right is contingent or absolute, pursuant to
any agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon exercise of
conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, shall be
deemed the Beneficial Owner of such securities.

          "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company
(or, if the Company is then a subsidiary of any other company, of
the ultimate parent company).

          "Cause" means (i) any action by the Employee involving
willful malfeasance or willful gross misconduct having a
demonstrable adverse effect on the Company; (ii) substantial and
continuing refusal by the Employee in willful breach of this
Agreement to perform his employment duties hereunder; or
(iii) the Employee being convicted of a felony under the laws of
the United States or any state.

          Termination of the Employee for Cause shall be
communicated by a Notice of Termination given within one year
after the Board (i) has knowledge of conduct or an event
allegedly constituting Cause; and (ii) has reason to believe that
such conduct or event could be grounds for Cause.  For purposes
of this Agreement a "Notice of Termination" shall mean delivery
to the Employee of a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire
membership of the Company's Board at a meeting of that Board
called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the
Employee ("Preliminary Notice") and reasonable opportunity for
the Employee, together with the Employee's counsel, to be heard
before the Board prior to such vote) of finding, in the good
faith opinion of the Board, that the Employee has engaged in the
conduct constituting Cause and specifying the particulars thereof
in detail.  Upon the receipt of the Preliminary Notice, the
Employee shall have 30 days in which to appear with counsel or
take such other action as he desires on his behalf, and such 30-
day period is hereby agreed to by the parties as a reasonable
opportunity for the Employee to be heard.  The Board shall no
later than 45 days after the receipt of the Preliminary Notice by
the Employee communicate its findings to Employee.  A failure by
the Board to make its finding of Cause or to communicate its
conclusion within such 45-day period shall be deemed to be a
finding that the Employee has not engaged in the conduct
described herein.  Any termination of the Employee's employment
(other than by death or Permanent Disability) within 45 days
after the date that the Preliminary Notice has been given to the
Employee shall be deemed to be a termination for Cause; provided,
however, that if during such period the Employee voluntarily
terminates other than for Good Reason or the Company terminates
the Employee other than for Cause, and the Employee is found (or
is deemed to be found) not to have engaged in the conduct
described herein, such termination shall not be deemed to be for
Cause.

          "Change of Control Event" means the date (i) any
individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or other
person or entity, together with its Affiliates and Associates
(other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company), is or becomes the
Beneficial Owner of securities of the Company representing 20% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors; (ii) the Continuing Directors fail to constitute a
majority of the members of the Board; (iii) of consummation of
any transaction or series of transactions under which the Company
is merged or consolidated with any other company, other than a
merger or consolidation which would result in the shareholders of
the Company immediately prior thereto continuing to own (either
by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) more than 70% of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving entity or its parent corporation outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iv) of any
sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, in one transaction or a
series of related transactions, of all, or substantially all, of
the assets of the Company, other than any sale, lease, exchange
or other transfer to any person or entity where the Company owns,
directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the outstanding voting
securities of such person or entity or its parent corporation
after any such transfer.

          "Continuing Director" means a director who either was a
member of the Board on the date hereof or who became a member of
the Board subsequent to such date and whose election, or
nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was Duly
Approved by the Continuing Directors on the Board at the time of
such nomination or election, either by a specific vote or by
approval of the proxy statement issued by the Company on behalf
of the Board in which such person is named as nominee for
director, without due objection to such nomination, but ex-
cluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or
threatened election contest with respect to the election or
removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation
of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person or entity
other than the Board.

          "Duly Approved by the Continuing Directors" means an
action approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of the
Continuing Directors then on the Board.

          "Fiscal Year" means the fiscal year of the Company.

          "Good Reason" means (i) a material adverse change in
the Employee's job responsibilities, title or status from those
in effect prior to the Change of Control Event which change
continues for a period of at least 15 days after written notice
from the Employee; (ii) a reduction of the Employee's base salary
or target bonus, the failure to pay Employee's salary or bonus
when due, or the failure to maintain on behalf of the Employee
(and his or her dependents) benefits which are at least as
favorable in the aggregate to those provided for in paragraph
4(b); (iii) the relocation of the principal place of the
Employee's employment to a location that is more than 35 miles
further from the Employee's residence than such principal place
of employment immediately prior to the Change of Control Event,
or the imposition of travel requirements on the Employee not
substantially consistent with such travel requirements existing
immediately prior to the Change of Control Event; (iv) the
failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of, and the
agreement to perform, this Agreement by any successor as
contemplated in paragraph 8(f); (v) any voluntary resignation of
employment by Employee following a Change of Control Event or
(vi) the failure of the Company to perform any of its other
material obligations under this Agreement and the continuation of
such failure for a period of 15 days after written notice from
the Employee.

          "Permanent Disability", as applied to the Employee,
means that (i) he has been totally incapacitated by bodily injury
or disease so as to be prevented thereby from performing his
duties hereunder; (ii) such total incapacity shall have continued
for a period of six consecutive months; and (iii) such total
incapacity will, in the opinion of a qualified physician, be
permanent and continuous during the remainder of the Employee's
life.

          "Termination" means (i) following the occurrence of a
Change of Control Event, (A) the termination of the Employee's
employment without Cause or (B) the resignation by an Employee
for Good Reason upon ten days' prior written notice (or such
shorter period as may be agreed upon between the Employee and the
Company), and (ii) prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control
Event, the termination of the Employee's employment or a material
adverse change in the Employee's job responsibilities, title or
status, at the request of any individual or entity acquiring
ownership and control of the Company; provided, that such term
shall not include any termination of employment for Cause, any
resignation without Good Reason, or any termination of employment
on account of an Employee's death or Permanent Disability.

          "Termination Date" shall mean the effective date of an
Employee's Termination; provided, that with respect to a
Termination that occurs prior to a Change of Control Event, the
effective date of such Termination shall be deemed to be the date
immediately following the Change of Control Event.
